Spacebuzz is a project started by the Overview Effect Foundation backed by ESA and the Netherlands Space Office. Spacebuzz aims to give children an overview effect like experience using virtual reality (VR) in order to have the same insight astronauts have when seeing planet Earth from space. In 2018, the Spacebuzz project was created so "children around the world can also get to experience the Overview Effect." It was announced in a press release on December 20 by astronaut André Kuipers on the European Space Agency's (ESA) website. William Shatner, New Shepard 18 Reproducing the effect

I had a feeling it's tiny, it's shiny, it's beautiful, it's home, and it's fragile. The thing that really surprised me was that it projected an air of fragility. Accounts Ĭosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, astronauts Michael Collins, Rusty Schweikart, Edgar Mitchell, James Irwin, Tom Jones, Ron Garan, Scott Kelly, Mike Massimino, André Kuipers, Chris Hadfield, Sally Ride, Anne McClain, and William Shatner are all reported to have experienced the effect. Weibel introduced the parallel term ultraview effect, a subjective response of intense awe some astronauts have experienced viewing large "starfields" while in space, and discussed the impact of the overview effect and the ultraview effect on astronauts' religious beliefs.

The term overview effect was coined in 1987 by Frank White, who explored the theme in his book The Overview Effect - Space Exploration and Human Evolution (Houghton-Mifflin, 1987 AIAA, 1998). Hoyle said that people suddenly seemed to care about protecting Earth's natural environment, though others attribute that awareness to Rachel Carson's 1962 Silent Spring and reactions to several environmental disasters in the 1960s. After Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders' December 1968 Earthrise photograph of the Earth from lunar orbit, the Apollo missions were credited with inspiring the environmental movement, the first Earth Day being held in April 1970. Astronaut Bill Anders recalled, "When I looked up and saw the Earth coming up on this very stark, beat-up Moon horizon, I was immediately almost overcome with the thought, 'Here we came all this way to the Moon, and yet the most significant thing we’re seeing is our own home planet, the Earth.'" Įnglish astronomer Fred Hoyle wrote in 1948 that, "once a photograph of the Earth, taken from the outside, is available, a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose".
